Finish up my mechanical engineering masters, grow food, get my medical degree, and work on high tech prosthetics. I'd also work on modifying the internal combustion engine to get 100+ miles to a liter of fuel.

For some reason people think that the world can operate without compensation to those who work... That's called slavery! And even then you have to provide food and shelter for your slaves.

Communes can operate without compensation. It's when greed infiltrates that they don't work. Always wanting more has been programmed into everyone since birth. That has to end for us to progress as a species. We don't have to want more. All we need to survive is food and shelter. If that were our only desire, the world could operate without compensation.

All of this "progress" is not progress at all. It is what keeps us all slaves.

Who wants to just "survive?" I want to live! I think it is progress. I love having stuff! So you'd rather go back to the times of working the land from sun up to sun down hoping that you survive??? No thank you!

I want to just survive. Stuff makes you a slave. Working for yourself from sun up to sun down is true freedom.

I'd rather work for 9 hours then go home and ride my mountain bike, relax in my backyard, and play some Xbox; that's what I call freedom. You can break your back in the fields.

Far as I know this has been a concept for well over twenty years. Are they accepting donations to get the project off the ground?

Yes, I believe so. I just can't get my head around spending money to eliminate money.

There are amazing people out there with world changing ideas, we just need to try new things. We are an intelligent and creative species with so much potential, we just need to work together.

All children deserve a better future than we are offering. We are not living sustainably, there will be nothing left for them. This is unacceptable, we are smarter than this, and we can do something about it! Together!!!

Money is a means of barter and as there are many forms of barter it is all good but to me (opinion) it is what I do with my money that matters. Money is a means of acquisition of goods and services in a meaningful or colorful ways (depending on which country has the best designed money) trade is and always been between people or nations for services based on another s ability or skills which another person might lack (knowledge).No money would mean we would barter (work for a day, trade for food stuff, etc) or trade for services rendered. It is the love of money that is the root of all evil.

Graceless and Skeptical as hell!!!"Self discipline gets things done. Making a plan and then sticking to that plan despite our inner weaknesses and apprehensions gives greater returns in the long run. This method not only earns the respect we hold for ourselves, but also the respect others hold for us. The flaky and indecisive cannot be relied upon."" Belief is just a word for something one refuses to study the origins of, or reason out!!!

You would not have the computer you are typing on without it, nor much of anything else.

The problem is fiat currencies and the criminals (politicians and bankers) that promote them.

The alue of anything can be manipulated. Think oil or silver speculators.

A 50 inch TV today costs about the same dollars as a 25 inch TV 40 years ago. Manipulation.

The thing that makes money work as currency is people's faith in it. As long as we go to work and buy stuff using money it will be a viable currency.

I'm always asking people this question, "What would you be doing if there was no such thing as money?" Myself, I'd probably have an orchard to grow food to help feed others. I'd also be a spiritual counselor to help people find their true divine reason for being here.

OP, Wow, I just realized that I had found your website long before I found GLP. Strange to be "meeting" up again. Actually, not strange at all. It's a pleasure!

It cost about $300 per month to stay there plus 'volunteer' work for the commune

wow oh wow, a moneyless system that collects rent in the form of money

Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1243463

Another commune I heard about was ordered to close down due to a fight, a few gunshots and commune owners lying to the people that lived there . Total corruption.. And many people spent their whole savings to move there and get settled. I saw a picture of the place, it was a dump. Nothing like whats above . Theres lots of people that want out but have no money to escape.
